Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a workers compensation claim in New York?
In New York you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim with the Workers Compensation Board. For occupational diseases you have two years from the date you knew or should have known the disease was work related. Missing this deadline can result in losing your right to benefits.
Can I choose my own doctor for a workers compensation claim in Riverhead?
Yes, New York law allows you to choose your own authorized treating physician. However the doctor must be authorized by the Workers Compensation Board to treat injured workers. Your employer or their insurance company cannot force you to see a specific doctor.
What types of benefits are available under New York workers compensation?
